Hi everyone,
I’m currently exploring ways to integrate VAPI into a smart speaker setup, where a wake word would directly activate the assistant and seamlessly start a conversation with VAPI.
What I'm Trying to Achieve:
✅ A wake word detection system (like Porcupine, OpenWakeWord, or Snowboy) that instantly triggers voice interactions with VAPI.
✅ The ability to process voice commands directly through VAPI without needing manual activation.
✅ A setup that runs fully autonomous, without requiring an app or extra confirmation steps.
My Questions:
1️⃣ Has anyone successfully built a smart speaker that directly connects to VAPI?
2️⃣ What’s the best way to handle continuous conversations with VAPI after activation?
3️⃣ Are there any specific hardware recommendations (Raspberry Pi, ESP32, etc.) that work well for this?
Would love to hear from anyone who has attempted or successfully implemented this. Any insights, examples, or guidance would be greatly appreciated! 🚀
Thanks in advance!
